Farewell, Dnipro!

About This Movie

So, 'Farewell, Dnipro!' is this quietly poignant piece that really captures the essence of nostalgia and loss. It revolves around Reuven Koshman, an old Jewish man reflecting on his life while at the Dnipro River. The film's pacing is deliberate, giving you time to absorb his stories, which feel like fragments of a life well-lived yet filled with longing. The atmosphere is heavy, layered with the weight of memory and displacement—Reuven's reminiscences of Berdychiv and his family’s exodus to Israel create this deep emotional resonance. You can almost feel the connection to the land and the river. The performances, particularly from the lead, are grounded and authentic, making you feel like you’re eavesdropping on a very intimate moment in his life.
